If you've got a nacho cowboy hat with cheese in the top, then i'd say you're in for quite a treat!

"The price drop will bring customers..."

Was this memo written by a Jr. Executive?

When they bundle products together and try to make it look like it's a special package when it's all really the same price. :P

And I'm not just trolling. I worked at a Best Buy though we'd displayed a bundle, no one in my store acted like it was a special deal at all and just got the customer what products they ACTUALLY needed. Occasionally like $10 would be knocked off of it at the store's decision. Sometimes it would be convenient if the customer wanted all of that, but normally we'd just ask, "What do you actually want?"

Unless this "bundle band" has changed into something that I haven't seen.

Apparently, a bundle band is something a super duper douchebag uses to tell a story.

And what a story to tell...

Wii: Play me! I'm fun! Take me home!

Molly: Mommy, I want to play with it!

Billy: It looks fun!

Jimmy: Can we take it home?

Mommy: Oh my! What a great story this bundle tells!

I don't really say what's so crazy about that, though maybe "themed" bundle would have been better terminology.

It's a little depressing that so few people have loyalty to their employer anymore.

I mean really, breaking policy and potentially getting fired so that you can be the first to post on a blog site? Is that what passes for heorism these days?

Have you never worked in retail before? I'd use many words to describe it, but loyalty is not one of them.

It's a faceless corporation that couldn't care less about its employees. Fuck 'em.

Is there a reason that you're focusing on some sort of B.S. morality here?

Might as well be consistent since we're also talking about a company that needs a few slaps on the hand, as well.

Not sure if you read the posts (up) about the "bundle bands," but Best Buy is known for deliberately lying to their customers in order to make more money this way. I should know. I used to work there.

Ok can we just stop saying this thing is "rumor" now? We're talking Toys R Us, Target, and now Best Buy.

Sounds legit.

"The price cut will bring in customers. They will be receptive to solutions"

Marketing translation:

Nintendo has said they have no plans to bring the Black Wii to the US - Japan only.

Mind you that might (should) change, but that's the story now.

Nintendo said they would not bring the DSi to the US in 2009 either. That lasted until... April, I think.

It is my suspicion that they are going to announce something regarding an NSMBWii bundle, just because they haven't announced it yet, alone out of all their games for this holiday, yet a non-confirmed release date just popped up for people who pre-ordered it on Amazon, and i bet the two have something to do with each other.

Should be lower, how much do you guys think it costs them to build a Wii?

We have Microsoft and Sony to thank for this by the way, Ninty is afraid people will catch on how little value you are getting for 250$ when they compare it to a 300$ PS3.

According to Nintendo it cost $100 dollars to make at launch. Soooo by now, I'd wager to bet it's only about $50. So yea, let's go to $150 Nintendo.
